The+1992-93+World+Tour+Band

Springsteen had dissolved his long-time backing E Street Band in 1989, and had not used them on //Human Touch// and //Lucky Town//. This tour was his first time out with another group. Looking for a somewhat different sound, he assembled an outfit that gave him both more guitar-based arrangements and a more R&B-based feel with more backup singers; in contrast, gone were the organ and saxophone keys to the traditional E Street sound.

Keyboardist Roy Bittan was the only E Streeter retained. Most of the rest of the touring band were experienced session musicians who were not well known to the general music audience. Better-known ace session drummer Jeff Porcaro, who had played on //Human Touch//, was supposedly offered $1 million to join the tour, but instead stayed with his band Toto.

Springsteen's new wife and previous E Street backup singer Patti Scialfa was not a regular member of this band, but made guest appearances at many shows to duet with Springsteen on "Brilliant Disguise" and "Human Touch" or "Tougher Than The Rest". //Source: Wikipedia//
